Kaupinoja and Rauhaniemi are on the lakeshore if you want to go straight into the water, ice hole and all in winter.\r\nWhat do I need to know about sauna etiquette? | Public saunas are usually gender-separated and used naked, you wash before going in, and you sit on a towel. Nobody minds a beginner. Drink water, leave when you have had enough, and do not combine heavy drinking with the heat and a cold plunge.\r\nIs it really the sauna capital of the world? | It has more public saunas than any other city, and the claim is one Tampere makes loudly and can back up. Whether the title is official is beside the point \u2014 the practical version is that here you can walk into a good public sauna for about \u20ac10.\r\nWhat is mustamakkara? | A black sausage, sold by weight at the market hall and eaten with lingonberry jam. It is the local speciality, it divides opinion sharply, and you are expected to try it.\r\nIs Tampere worth a stop between Helsinki and Lapland? | Yes, and the overnight sleeper north stops here. It is an hour and a half from Helsinki, the mill district conversion is genuinely well done, and two days covers it.\r\nWhat is the Pyynikki tower? | An observation tower, about \u20ac5, on the highest gravel esker in the world, with a view over both lakes. The caf\u00e9 beneath it sells doughnuts that are a local institution in their own right.\r\nWhen should I go? | June to August for the lakes and the long light.
